DAVID W. EMSLIE, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.

DIE AND SEAL PRESS.

Application filed December 19, 1921. Serial No. 523,465.

To all whom may concern:

Be it known that 1, DAVID W. EMSLU'J, a citizen of the United States, residing; at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Die and Seal Presses, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in seals and has for its principal object to provide a device of this character which is easily and cheaply manufactured and which is durable and ellicient in operation.

In the drawings Fig. 1 is a side elevation thereof; Fig. 2 is a top plan view; Fig. 3 a fragmentary section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; Fig. l a Vertical section through the device; Fig. 5 a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 6 abottom plan view thereof. The device consists of a base 1 having a raised seat 2 thereon on which is mounted the bottom die 3, said die 3 beattached thereto by projections 1 which extend into openings 5 in the raised portion 2. The upper die 6 is attached by a pin 7 to a die carrier 8 which consists of a horizontal metal piece 10 connecting; two side members 11 which project downwardly at their rear ends as indicated at 12 through slots '13 in the top of the base 1 and are held by a shaft ll extending across said base. The upper die 3 is of hard material and has the emblem cut thereon while the lower die 3 is of a soft material and the emblem is placed thereon by placing the blank die member on the seat 2 and bringing; the die 6 into rather heavy engagement with the die 3. This will emboss the emblem on the die 3 and at the same time force the tongues 4': into the holes 5. The operating handle 15 is pivoted by a pin 16 between the arms 17 which extend rearwardly and downwardly through slots 18 and are held by the shaft 1 1. A shoulder 19 on the members 17 engages under the upper face of the base 1 and assists in holding the members 17 in place.

A spring 20 fastened at 21 to the base 1 normally holds the die carrier 8 in the position shown in Fig. 1 said spring bearing against the under side of the plate 10 of the die carrier, and tending to lift the same.

The handle 15 preferably comprises a piece of metal flanged to form a channel, the ends of the channels being curved outwardly to form cams 30, and these cams rest on the top of the plate 10 so that when the handle is swung down the die carrier 8 is turned on its pivot 14; and the dies are impressed in the paper or other material placed therebetween.

The manner of forming the counter or lower die 3 is attended with improvement. By using metal sufficiently soft, and by applying suiiieient pressure to the upper die the pins 4; are extruded or forced into the holes in the die seat 2, whereby the counter is permanently and securely attached to the die seat, without the necessity for rivets or other separate fastening devices. Thi may be done before the parts are assembled, by placing the die members and the base "in a. heavier press.

I claim:

The method of forming a die member, consisting of placing a. soft metal die blank on a seat provided with holes, and forcing): an other die member against said blank with pressure suliicient to form a die surface thereon and also force the soft metal into said holes.

In testimony whereof, I do affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

DAVID W. ElilSLll-C.
